Anime chain store Animate is offering a limited edition Neon Genesis Evangelion taimeshi bento. How much do you think this lunch would cost?
It costs the equivalent of US$15.

For a plastic Neon Genesis Evangelion lunch box, some chopsticks and tai-meshi (sea bream rice). Tai-meshi is pretty easy to make, and a tai-meshi lunch box, as blog Sankaku Complex points out, typically only costs a couple bucks.
But hey, Evangelion! The meal is perfect for plug suit drinks.

DISCUSSION
Can anybody shed any light on why a really mindfucking—albeit cool—anime from 1995 has garnered over $16 for its franchise and is STILL going? Why do I keep seeing new Eva pachinko machines and toys and branded shit in the convenience store? It blows my mind; it's not like there are any new episodes or anything, so what's the dealio?
